That’s why you are not happy. 👉 Swami Vivekanand:-Why do good people always suffer? Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire.

Always count your blessing, not what you are missing. 👉 Swami Vivekanand:- What surprises you about people? Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- When they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me?" 👉 Swami Vivekanand:- How can I get the best out of life? Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. 👉 Swami Vivekanand:- One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered. Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- There are no unanswered prayers. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live . These are life lessons like no other . source -google

⚡️Question from CAPF 2024 ⚡️Why in the news: A tigress from the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra, was sent 800 km away to the Similipal Tiger Reserve on Sunday (October 28, 2024) so as to diversify the genetic pool of the tiger population in Odisha. She is part of a plan by the Odisha government to tackle inbreeding in the tiger population that has resulted in increasing numbers of the once elusive black tigers or pseudo-melanistic tigers.

[Environment] pseudo-melanistic tigers, inbreeding, relocation - Pseudo: false; melanistic: dark coloured. Their skin/pelt looks almost the inverse of a normal tiger. More black and less orange. - Odisha → Similipal Tiger Reserve → 13/27 tigers are pseudo-melanistic. - No other wild habitat in the world has pseudo-melanistic tigers. - The Similipal tiger population is cut off from the other populations by a great distance and has been isolated for an extended period of time. - Result? ‘inbreeding’ → gene defect/mutation → pseudo-melanistic skin/pelt. - Solution? Odisha government sending away tiger from Simlipal to Maharashtra’s Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve. ~ Mrunal sir

In 324 BCE, after Alexander (the) Great's death, a remarkable coin known as the Porus Medallion was minted, celebrating his encounter with the Indian king Porus during the Battle of the Hydaspes. This silver decadrachm features Alexander on horseback wielding a sarissa, charging at Porus, who is depicted atop an elephant. Interestingly, this battle never unfolded as portrayed; Alexander's forces systematically outmaneuvered Porus's troops using archers before confronting the elephants. On the reverse side of the coin, Alexander holds a thunderbolt, symbolizing his divine lineage as the son of Zeus, a belief held by many in his army. Coin was Discovered in Afghanistan in 1926 and minted in Babylon, these coins reflect Alexander's self-image and propaganda. They serve as a fascinating glimpse into his mindset and the historical context of his campaigns in India, despite being minted posthumously.
